Anxiety + Aas ??

[cryptkeeper]

the AAS probably did trigger your first attack. my trigger was marijuana and my first attack happened at 23 while i was high as a kite. i smoked pot and loved it since 14 until then. it was torture having to stop marijuana due to the fear of getting an attack while being high. i never got an attack sober, but this manifested into general daily anxiety and depression for quite some time. i am still depressed mildly(today at 28,never went on meds), but i learned to control the anxious feelings i get here and there. it took me 4 years to have the balls to try AAS again as i thought it might stimulate my cns and trigger attacks. summer of 2003 i tried GH at 3-4 IU daily, deca 300mg a wk, and var 20mg daily for 10 weeks total. no anxiety whatsoever. summer 2004 i kicked it up a notch and tried sust 250mg a wk, winny 25mg daily, and gh again for 12 weeks. the sust made mee feel great. very relaxed and happy all the time along with awesome sleep. no probs again whatsoever. then i even added t3 from 25-50mcg with clen along with my entire PCT for 6 weeks. this combo did make me a little more anxious than usual, especially the first 5 days or so but then the clen "tiredness" kicked in and i was cool. my advice would be to ease back in with a modest test dose like i did along with a mild anabolic like var, primo, or winny and 3 IU of gh daily. youll most likely feel better and youll leave alot of your anxiety in the gym ;-) your medication will prob keep you straight. having been through what you have, i can only wish you the best of luck and assure you that it really does get alot better with time. hope this helped you out.

I dunno man...is there a real difference between prozac and lexapro? I am also on the anti-anxiety drug buspar...but I dont think it does anything...What should I tell my doc regarding this? I would like to get some xanax or other CNS depressent, but I dont know how to confront him in a correct manner...
Thanks.

I take buspar, too... for the anxiety, xanax on hand for panic attacks, and trazodone to sleep well at night... all from doc. they seem to have helped. ask your doc for xanax in case you feel panicy, and possibly increase you buspar dosage... some are on as much as 60 mgs/day. take care!

 

[wesley90]

well I am on 20mgs twice a day...it has to be used twice a day...

 

[shawnerk]

Dude, not sure about yours, but my pills are scored in thirds on one side and in half on the other, and they are 15 mgs each. So, theorectiaclly I could do any amount 'twice' a day that is needed. What is your point to (It has to be used twice a day)? Take 1.5 twice a day... 30 mgs x 2 = 60.... ???

I had never had an anxiety attack in my life, until I tried EQ at 300mg/week. Then, I felt what I was later told was the early stages of one several times. They all happened when I was too hot (going into stores in winter wearing heavy clothes). I was always able to control them by going outside, breathing slowly and deeply, and reminding myself that it was just the EQ...nothing 'real' was wrong with me.

 

[wesley90]

Buspar has a short half life, so it needs to be taken twice a day.

 

[shawnerk]

Duuude! Lol! I got that! I'm saying... If 20 mgs twice a day isn't working then maybe do 30 mgs twice a day! Maybe get some xanax, too Talk to your doc, jeez! Think ur on too much already!

 

[wesley90]

heh...well I am asking how to approach it correctly, not get him to think im tryin to get high ya know...,

thanx a lto for all the comments. wesley, yea,experience those pains again...then SLOWLY breath in through your nose, out through you mouth. Make SURE your stomach is MOVING when you breath...what is happening is you are hyperventalating (i TOTALLY spelt that wrong) when you start to breath correctly, you will feel those pains go away..and just to make you feel better...if you WERE SICK or, something WAS WRONG, breathing wouldnt fix it..ya know? So that breathing technique proves to yourself that your ok.

I got CRAAZY hooked on the Xanex, and i had to make myself stop taking it. I havent had any in 2 weeks and i doubled my does of Effexor to 150mg and I feel great. Im starting my cycle today:

400mg Cyp a week
50mg Riforvit ED

after that is gone in gonna finish up with some primo. Hopefully it will go well. Thanx guys!
